I have listed both overseas and U.S. tour dats, in case you are a traveling man:

Iron Maiden announce summer tour and ground breaking show in India
Published: February 13, 2007


Following their phenomenally successful new album and sold-out tour late last year of arena's around the world, Iron Maiden are announcing a series of headline stadium and festival appearances in March and June of this year.

Always keen to take Metal to new places, Maiden will for the first time ever play in India, on the spectacular grounds of Bangalore’s Palace on Saturday 17th March, marking the first time a major metal band has ever played in the subcontinent.

Iron Maiden’s new album, ‘A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH’ reached No 2 in the Indian album charts after debuting at No 4, which is believed to be the highest chart position in India ever for any rock act. Maiden will be the first to bring in a full massive western style stage production - air freighting in almost 20 tons of backline equipment and their huge stage Production for this one show.

Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson commented “To say we’re all really looking forward to going to Bangalore is something of an understatement. It’s very special to us to be able play to new fans in countries we’ve never been to before, and we hear the Indian fans are very loud and into their metal. The whole trip will be an exciting time for us and we intend to enjoy every moment there. The fans should know that we are bringing the whole stage show we used in Europe and America and that Eddie will definitely be joining us! We are crafting a special set to include both songs from A Matter of Life and Death and a load of other favorites. It promises to be an absolutely amazing atmosphere playing outdoors in front of the palace.”

A spokesman from the promoters DNA Networks explained, “As this is the first show ever in India to feature three other acts in addition to an international headliner, it will be our first ever festival of sorts and as such an historic occasion. As the setting is the beautiful open site in the palace grounds we thought the occasion should be marked with a special name so we are calling the event ‘EDD-FEST’. We are confident that Maiden and ‘EDD-FEST' will encourage more Western bands in the future to join us and play here in India, something which would greatly please the huge number of Rock fans in this country. The appearance on the bill of Britain's Lauren Harris will also be the first time Indian fans will have seen a rock band fronted by a girl"

Another new territory for the band to visit is Dubai in the United Arab Emirates where they will headline the Desert Rock Festival on Friday 9th March. This is the 4th Desert Rock Festival and is an event which has grown steadily in stature and Iron Maiden will be the biggest act to headline the festival to date. It is expected to be the most succcessful yet. Maiden's new album was Top 5 in Arabia.

Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood comments "Going right back to 1985 and tours behind the old Iron Curtain, particularly Poland, Maiden have always enjoyed blazing the trail taking metal to new fans all over the world. We have wanted to play in India for some time and the success of the new album persuaded us to interrupt our break and go there in March. We were also invited to play in Beijing and Shanghai in China but Eddie was concerned about restrictions relating to choice of songs and artwork so we are leaving that to a later time. In June we are going into some Eurpean territories we didn’t get chance to play last time and to places like the UK, Germany, Italy and Holland where the late 06 arena shows got nowhere near satisfying the demand for tickets. As most of these dates are outdoors we will adjust the set to include more of the classics suited to an outdoor party atmosphere, along with selected songs from A Matter of Life and Death. We will of course be taking the full stage production with us everywhere along with Eddie who has kindly agreed to delay his holidays!. It promises to be a hugely enjoyable series of dates"

Now, I really hope that either Queensryche or Priest tours with them. That would be a killa show.

On their 2000 comeback tour, Halford, Queensryche opened and Maiden headlined.

I also saw about 4 years ago, Motor Head, Dio and Maiden, and it was phenomenal.

But they never play "Where Eagles Dare" in the U.S. :-(

I got the coolest little shirt for my son-to-be at Hot Topic. It says: "I listen to Guns N Roses with my Mommy." There was another one that mentioned Slayer, but they didn't have the size I was looking for.

I would LOVE to see Priest...oh man...

I saw Priest with Rob Halford) years ago at the Meadowlands. Testament and Megadeth opened for them, what a show. Halford came out on his Harley in the beginning of the show. They totally rocked.

Priest has a new record coming out in '08. It's a concept record about Nostradamus.

I saw Priest on Ozzfest a couple years back and they were awesome. Halford also came out and sung with Sabbath because Ozzy was sick. It was so friggin' cool.

Halford is definitely one of the best vocalists ever.

Iced Earth will be touring this spring!! I can't wait for that.

Iced Earth definitely rocks. I only have 1 of their albums, but have listened to their other stuff on I-tunes, and they certainly carried the weight during that period when no record label would sign non-poseur bands (like 1992-1999).

I already got my ticket for that show! I saw them with Dio and Motorhead, Halford and Queensryche and at Ozzfest and they sounded awesome every time, even though Sharon Osbourne cut their power out several times in the middle of their set at Ozzfest. They still completely destroyed every other band there.

Dang Diesel, you are into the heavy stuff like I am, considering your tag line is a quote from The Red Chord. :metal horns: \m/

I just got the coolest gift for my unborn son: it's a onesie that says Rob Zombie on the front and on the back, it says Zombie-In-Training. So awesome.
